Weight Watcher's 50th Anniversary Cookbook

Weight Watcher's 50th Anniversary Cookbook: 280 Delicious Recipes for Every Meal
by Weight Watchers International [641.563 Wei]

This book would make a great gift for people wanting to lose weight, whether or not they belong to Weight Watchers. It lists the Points Plus points for each dish, by serving, so you don't have to figure points out yourself, saving you time. I wish all of my cookbooks had the Points Plus points listed as this book does. Lots of great, tasty recipes and they don't taste like diet food. -- recommended by Kathy H. - Walt Branch Library [If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try Weight Watchers simply delicious winning points cookbook : 245 no-fuss recipes - all 8 points or less or Weight Watchers Magazine, also found at our library!]

Dancing With the Stars exercise DVDs

Dancing With the Stars exercise DVDs
[DVD 613.71 Dan]

Looking to get fit with some fun exercises led by some of your favorite TV stars? Look no further than the three Dancing With the Stars exercise DVDs in the libraries' collections: Cardio Dance (with Maksim Chmerkovsky, Ashly Costa and Kym Johnson), Latin Cardio Dance (with Maks and Cheryl Burke), and Dance Off the Pounds (with Dmitry Chaplin, Lacey Schwimmer and Kym). Each disc features the stars (and a group of support dancers) going through a dancer's traditional warm-up, then spending 15 minutes each on the essential techniques of several dance styles, followed by a cool down period. Each disc also features healthy eating tips from Slim-Fast (one of the sponsors of the Dancing With the Stars touring show), and a "music-only" version of the DVD, in case you don't want to hear the dialog and instructions on subsequent viewings. Dances covered include: Cardio Dance (Paso Doble, Cha-Cha, Samba, Jive), Dance Off the Pounds (Swing, Jive, Quick-Step), and Latin Cardio Dance (Merengue, Cha-Cha, Samba, Mambo). Fun to watch, both from the fitness standpoint and as a fan of DWtS -- but make sure you've got plenty of room to move around if you want to actually do the moves! -- recommended by Scott C. - Bennett Martin Public Library
